Default draining battery

I have a 98 ram 1500, if it sits over night the battery goes dead. there is a draw on it somewhere, and i cant begin to guess where. i did notice that the PDC is hot all the time is it supposed to be? That is the only hot wire that will light a test light with the battery unhooked and a test light hooked to the negative battery cable and touched to the negative post.
